We know Jon Stryker funds everything from the Michigan regressisphere to the Democrats take-over of the State House to radical and militant gay-special-rights groups to Governor Granholm’s reelection campaign (who did donate all that partners for progress money, anyways?) and the Michigan Democrat Party and we all assumed that it was family money he’d inherited or made through his company, Kalamazoo based Styker Corporation.

What we didn’t know until this morning was that at least $16.6 million worth of that campaign cash was generated by stealing from American citizens with failing health. That according to a settlement between Jon Stryker and the Justice Department.

I say at least because $16.6 million was the amount of his settlement. Had the far-left financier failed to settle with the government and gone to trial who knows what he might have lost. According to the Justice Department:

(Styrker’s company) submitted false claims to Medicare and other federal health care programs...

The settlement resolves allegations that (Styker subsidiary) Physiotherapy… submitted claims for services to Medicare, state Medicaid programs, and the Department of Defense's TRICARE program that were falsely billed as one-on-one services and that Physiotherapy improperly retained excess or duplicate payments it received from federal health care programs.

So he wasn’t just stealing from the government. He was stealing from the government’s set-aside cash used explicitly to provide health care services for many of those in society who can least afford them. Nice guy.

And that begs the question, if Styker’s companies aren’t afraid to steal tens of millions from funds dedicated to providing health care to those who need it most, what else is hiding in that now very open closet of his?

The news of Styker’s run-in with the United States Justice Department comes shortly after revelations that big-dollar Democrat money man Norman Hsu was, in fact, a long-time wanted felon funneling illegally obtained cash into campaign coffers including those of Hillary Clinton, Jennifer Granholm and Debbie Stabenow and amidst reports in the LA Times that Clinton continues to rake in hundreds of thousands in highly questionable contributions from people who suddenly disappear.

For Stryker’s part he is also at the center of a campaign-cash laundering scheme that’s placed him in the cross-hairs of a recent campaign finance complaint filed with the Michigan Department of State.

And here I was this close to believing the Democrat Party was all about goodness and light. Instead it’s a party suddenly embroiled in a pattern of illegal activity and money laundering. And now their top dog is in the middle of it all.

But don’t expect any of them to criticize Jon Styker. They literally can’t afford to get on that man’s bad side… who’d buy the next election for them?
